To feel utterly miserable about a future with Andy Burnham as PM?

I feel like I'm being stung in every possible way at the moment- £15 a day on tube to work, high mortgage costs, high energy costs, private schooling for SEN child (I was told state wouldn't be unlikely to assist him as he isn't mute or violent). My parents have had to help fund schooling it felt like my only hope as son has behavioural issues.

I also have an unsold old home that I have to rent out as it wouldn't sell. Buy-to-let mortgage costs, agent fees, maintenance and tax put me in a loss position.

I can't bear what the future holds with Andy Burnham. I have no doubt that he will find new and imaginative ways to keep me in this financial nightmare. I'm literally struggling from food poverty but regarded as rich by policy.

YABU- Andy Burnham is actually going to make things better

YANBU- I'm screwed

Laughing at posters following our thread as they do. But it turns out the Times was right he could retract after all.

He’s gone.

Trump is going to make mincemeat out of Burnham, whom clearly is an anti semite - retraction or no retraction.

What an astonishing poor start to choose anti semitism over any actual god damn policy. How could it really get any worse???

Burnham is now toast, but didn’t want the job as PM anyway, so I am sure it is kindness really.

Your posts are attracting unhappy Labour supporters. They won’t like losing Starmer.

More taxes from the middle to fund lifestyles of the idle.....

So no straight answer, then? Nicknames are fine if they aren't about Badenoch?

And I still say it is hypocritical to object to nicknames about Badenoch if one is happy to use them for other politicians.

What retraction do you mean? Genuinely asking.

There seems to be a bit of a do about this cabinet, mainly about who is going to be chancellor. Was there a do when Starmer chose his cabinet or did he just pick who he wanted with no fuss from the MPs

There’s only a ‘do’ in that Burnham’s not going to announce his cabinet until Monday and it’s driving the media crazy having to wait.
